And the move was done

I have finally cleaned out the old appartment which took some effort before it was done. I got some help from a few friends, and I am not sure how I would hav managed it without their help. Daniel helped me for a day and Bob then came all the way from Stockholm with his car and drove me and the boxes that fitted in the car back to Stockholm.

Getting the stuff out of the car and in to Lindas appartment and cellar was easy. We are still unpacking a few things every now and then. Decided on taking it easy and just live of her things until we discovered that any one of us was missing something and if I got it, then we would go down and bring it up.
I should probably go and do some more folding and unpacking of my clothes that still are in a black plastic bag.

The days in Stockholm so far has been nice. We started off, the very same evening as I arrived, to go downtown watching a few concerts with Ane Brun, Alexander Ryback and a few other norwegian musicians. Later that evening we also watched Christian Kjellvander for a while and then the show of Kroumata. The next evening we went and watched Cullbergbaletten performing in Vitabergsparken and the evening after that a few people I know from Musikhögskolan in Malmö played at Brunkebergs torg in Vindla String Quartett together with Tingsek. It was a kind of strange feeling to see people from a life you have put behind yourself due to alot of negative stress that came from that life.

Yesterday we watched Jonas Gardell. He is just such a phenomenal storyteller that mixes real serious stuff with lots of comic. It was a really moving evening that made you think abit more of life and how to live.

Tonight I will meet up with a friend that also just recently moved to town that I haven't seen for a year or so and on wednesday I will meet Johanna which I haven't seen in 2 years or so.
There is for sure some pro's with living in a large city like Stockholm. Finally I am closer to people I haven't had the chance to see as often as I would like to. I feel that this episode of my life will indeed bring some more positive changes, but Im not sure in what package they will come - so let's just wait and see.

Discovering the reality

Soo. This might at last be the beginning of a new life in many ways. It is time for me not only to discover the reality around me, but also time to share it with you.

In many situations when I experience something or think about something that I just recently heared, experienced or read I tend to spin on the subject for a bit but does not really have anyone or anywhere where I can share my recent thoughts. I am a member of multiple social webpages, such as Twitter - @Nadrendion, Facebook, Google+, but those does not seem to be too friendly when it comes to sharing longer posts etc.

So who am I that want to share my thoughts with you?
I am Johnny, a 28 year old man from Sweden with various interests. I have been studying music for just about the whole time of my life. I play multiple instruments, such as recorder, cello, irish flute, tinwistle and sing.
I did go to the music teachers program at the Malmö Academy of Music, but took a break after 2.5 years due to some rather unpleasant experiences.

I have a great interest in historical crafts and reenactement of the medieval and viking age, and later aswell. Another interest I have that has been latent for so many years is horses.
Just recently I discovered Natural Horsemanship thanks to a friend of mine, Caija. She helped me to discover the incredible man Pat Parelli and his wife Linda Parelli that has a very natural way of treating his horses and actual having a horse-man relationship rather than a pray-predator relationship. (Interesting enough is that I don't have my own horse, but I hope that some time in the future this will come aswell.)

In just about 1 week I will move to the largest town of Sweden, Stockholm and there I will be living with my girlfriend, Linda, and I will be studying on a 2 year education towards System developement and Java programming. I will during this time also take private lessons on the cello aswell as have a closer look into the NH-world together with Anne Dirksen, a, if Im correct, 4-star Parelli-instructor living outside of Stockholm.
The move will also bring me closer to some friends I haven't spent too much time with due to the distance and I will meet new reenactement friends and crafters and musicians - And this is what this blog will be about, aswell as other thoughts of subjects I pick up on along the way.

Thanks for letting me share this with you and Welcome to Discovering the reality.
